Please pray for Chad and Nikki who went for their 12 week appointment this week and found out their baby might have a chromosomal defect. They are meeting with a perinatologist on Monday. Pray that the baby will be born healthy and whole. You can visit their site here - http://chadandnikki.blogspot.com/

This baby was born 10 months ago and 3 months premature and weighed 1 lb. She has been in the NICU ever since. She recently had surgery and now she is not waking up and the doctors think she may possibly be brain dead. Can you imagine the pain and anguish her family is feeling today? PLEASE pray for little Kayleigh and her parents.

I will never forget walking in to the NICU at St Francis for the first time when my parents and I arrived in Tulsa and the sweetest couple were there to greet me. It helped what was SUCH a hard time for me. Their little boy, Gavin, is having heart surgery in CA today - please lift him up. http://gavinparker.blogspot.com/

I'll have pictures of Harper up later today (don't worry GRANDPARENTS) - we are off to get ready and run some errands on this beautiful warm spring day!!!!

thank you for sharing the freeman's prayer request. i live in the same town as them. we have mutual friends and actually attend the same church, i have yet to meet them face to face. but nonetheless, i have been following their story and praying for sweet kayleigh. thank you for posting it on your blog and spreading the word. i posted it on mine today too.

I will be praying for those. Its such a tug at your heart when it deals with Gods lil' ones. Cant wait to see Miss Harper later today. I hope she enjoys her day without too much of a fuss...hehe. They do grow out of that. Hang in there mommma!

You are so Great at keeping up with the prayer request!! I have never had the chance to say Congrats on little Harper she is just Beautiful!! What an Awesome God we Serve.. I love your blog all your cute little post. We emailed each other way back when you first got pregnant w/ Harper. But just wanted to tell you she is a baby doll!!

Thank you for spreading the word about these precious families. It feels like there are so many in need of prayers right now, but thankfully prayer is something we never run out of - I will be on my knees for all of them tonight!

Kelly, Thank you so much for including the Freemans. Actually, Kayleigh has NEVER left the NICU. She's had 5 or 6 surgeries now (one including open heart--one of the smallest babies ever), and this last one consisted of four separate surgeries (G-tube, central line, Nissen, and Bilateral hernia repair...plus a biopsy). This was the last stop on the NICU rollercoaster before they could get off at home! God's will will be done...we just don't know if he wants her to go to her earthly home or her heavenly one. prayingforkayleigh(at)live(dot)com

My child was born premie almost 21 years ago at a little over 3 lbs. I understand the scarey feelings and the stressors and the heartache some of these parents are going through. Today my child is still struggling with some disabilities. I wouldn't trade him for any other child in the world! Neither, I'm sure, would any of these parents. I'm adding my prayers for the families you mentioned. May G-d comfort them all with peace, provide supportive people for all three, and move on behalf of their children.
